+.SH NAME
+inews \- Send a Usenet article.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.B inews
+[
+.B \-D
+]
+[
+.B \-O
+]
+[
+.B \-S
+]
+[
+.I input
+]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+.I inews
+reads a Usenet news article including headers from
+the named file or standard input if no file is given.
+It adds some headers and performs some checks. If the article
+fails the checks (e.g. the article lacks a body, or has no Newsgroups:
+line), the article is rejected. Otherwise the article is posted.
+
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.TP
+.B \-D
+Debug mode.
+.I inews
+adds header lines and performs some checks. If the checks are successful,
+the article is printed on the standard output and not posted.
+.TP
+.B \-O
+If no
+.I Organization:
+header is found, and a value for
+.I organization
+is specified in
+.BR noffle.conf (5),
+.I inews
+will add a
+.I Organization:
+header using that value. To suppress this behaviour, use the
+.B \-O
+flag.
+.TP
+.B "\-h \-A \-V \-W"
+For compatibility with inews programs used with other news servers,
+.I inews
+accepts, but ignores, the ``\fB\-h\fP'', ``\fB\-A\fP'', ``\fB\-V\fP''
+and ``\fB\-W\fP'' flags.
+.TP
+.B \-N
+For compatability with inews programs used with other news servers,
+the ``\fB\-N\fP'' flag is treated as the ``\fB\-D\fP'' flag.
+.TP
+.B \-S
+Normally, if a file named
+.I .signature
+exists in the user's home directory,
+.I inews
+will try to append it to the end of the article. If the file cannot be
+read, the article will not be posted.
+If the
+.B \-S
+flag is given, .signature will not be added.
+
+.SH NOTES
+
+.I inews
+exits with a zero status if the article was successfully posted, or a
+non-zero status if a check fails or posting fails.
+
+.PP
+This
+.I inews
+is supplied with the
+.B NOFFLE
+news server. It is, in fact, the main
+.BR noffle (1)
+executable, and the
+.I inews
+program is just a link to the main
+.I noffle
+program. If the
+.I noffle
+program sees it is being executed under the name
+.I inews
+it adjusts its behaviour accordingly.
+
+.SH FILES
+
+.B NOFFLE
+takes its configuration from a configuration file, by default
+.I /etc/noffle.conf.
+For a description of this file, see
+.BR noffle.conf(5).
